DIY tail boom fix for micro heli's

So i just recently broke my tail boom on my heli max axe becuase it want tail end into the ground from about 10ft high. I could not fix it becuase it frayed. I was really sad then I figured out a way to fix it! I dont know if this will work with the blade micro heli's but I think it might work. I took a barbeque skewer and i shaped the ends of it the shape and size of the old tail boom and I put more notches on the end where the stabalizer goes! I cut it to size and then put electrical tape to hold it to the frame so that if I break this one it can just make a new swewer! Here is the picture from one of the test with it today!

 

It fly's pretty good for me right now and i even have more tail auuthroity!

Pro's

If it breaks it is a easy replace!

You can cut it to the length you want!

Con's

It is made of a barbeque skewer.

It might not perform 3D as well because the tail is just a little bit wobbly.

 

So Those are the only problem I have with this idea but if you just wanna fly without problems then it will eb fine!

I have not tested 3D with the new tail yet so when I do I will post in the comments on how it does!

 

Hope this helps thos frustrated micro heli pilots!
